社會語言學Sociolinguistics
社會語言學是一個很大的術語，它覆蓋了大量有關語言和社會的問題，包括語言的社會功能和語言使用者的社會特征。社會語言學研究語言多樣性的特征，他們的功能特征和說話者的特征以及這三者在言語社團中持續(xù)的交互作用和變化。它試圖揭示出那些能解釋和限制言語社團中語言行為和作用于語言行為的社會規(guī)則和規(guī)范，同時，也努力去確定語言多樣性對于說話者的符號性價值。而這種由語言的多樣性產生的符號性或象征性特征，是語言功能差異的必然結果。

Sociolinguistics is an umbrella term which covers a variety of different interests in language and society,including the social functions of language and the the social characteristics of its users.Sociolinguistics is the study of the characteristics of language varieties,the characteristics of their functions,and the characteristics of their speakers as these three constantly interact and change within a speech community.It seeks to discover the societal rules and norms that explain and constrain language behaviour and the behaviour toward language in speech communities.It also seeks to determine the symbolic value of language varieties for their speakers.That language varieties come to have symbolic or symptomatic value,in and of themselves,is an inevitable consequence of their functional differentiation.(Reproduction of this article without written permission is strictly prohibited.)
